Desis and staring

For people in and outside of Pakistan and India, would you agree that one generalization which has some truth to it: desis stare at others, to the point of making them feel uncomfortable.

Now, I’m not saying it’s all desis - but I find that enough Pakistani and Indian men and women will taar or stare at others to make it a stereotype. In my limited travels to other places where I should have stood out because my skin colour was different, I’ve not felt the constant gaze. So why in Pakistan and India or by people of Pakistani and Indian origin?

Re: Desis and staring

so many invaders invaded our land that we become paranoid as soon as we see any outsider…that instinct is in our genes…
so dont try to mutate our genes…:snooty:

Re: Desis and staring

Its alright Sehrysh, all us good looking people face this problem.

Re: Desis and staring

Oh, is that why? I guess rather than be creeped out I should be flattered.

But humour me and answer seriously for just a sec - is it or is it not true that a lot of desis stare at others a lot - to the point of making the object of the stare uncomfortable?

Re: Desis and staring

Uh huh…not really! well yah i mean they do stare n all but its nt that its a desi thing, come visit kuwait for a week and u’ll know what the real batemezi is all about :halo:. the thing is i hear these same kuwaits in pak complaining how ill mannered pakis r, how they cnt follow traffic rules blah blah but i see the same and even worst things happening here but these same pakistanis r ok with it tolerating all this stuff cuz hey, they cnt afford to say anything to the kuwaitis unless they want to be kicked out :mad:. The not only stare but feel no calms about coming close to u rubbing their shoulder against you and uttering some jubberish without havin a brain that the other person may or may not even understand yr language :hoonh: … and they dnt care if u r alone or with family, they wl do what they want to do! bloody manhos log.

Re: Desis and staring

they be retards....so overtly curious about avry thing.

Re: Desis and staring

Could it be in the west folks may just appear not to be staring. Most of this could be attributed to cultutal differences. Desis dont say excuse me everytime we burp

Re: Desis and staring

In Pakistan, there is not so much to do. Life is like being a water buffalo under a tree. You eat. You chew. You stare at other buffalo. You stare at people. At dogs, and donkeys and crows. You chew some more. Eat some more ghaas. Stare some more. Have a pee. Have a nap. Chew some more.

Mudge life.

Re: Desis and staring

I blame monsoon season and school closing on the day they teach them to lower their gaze.

Re: Desis and staring

ummmm.... so say you like gulab jamuns.... and u have been forbidden to eat them for years.... now imagine someone passes by you carrying a tray with gulam jamuns on it..... what do you do?

Re: Desis and staring

Well in Pak it's more of a case of a halwai who is never satisfied despite making tons of gulab jamuns.

umm...no innuendoes whatsoever.

Re: Desis and staring

I blame desi movies, cause that is how Hero usually phansaa'oed Heroine, by staring at her non stop.

Re: Desis and staring

Not ture, in desi movies, it always a loud slap from hero that makes the girl fall for him.

Re: Desis and staring

:smilestar:

is it working?

Re: Desis and staring

I said hero, not villian.

Re: Desis and staring

Villain is just a perspective. One person's hero is another person's villain

Re: Desis and staring

Yeah I was opining from my perspective. :D

Re: Desis and staring

What kind of women is Sehrysh hanging out with? :hmmm:
